Ford Fiesta

Beginning in November 2010, PT Ford Motor Indonesia as the sole agent (ATPM) Ford in Indonesia, has officially introduced the car in the direct import of Fiesta assembly plant in Rayong, Thailand. In the country, the Fiesta comes in three types of 1.4-liter Style Trend MT and MT / AT and Sport with the 1.6 liter version of the dual clutch transmission features a six-speed PowerShift.As for unit tests this time, 1.4-liter Ford Fiesta Trend A / T

 DESIGN & ENGINEERING 
Expressive design of the Ford Fiesta's dynamic could be the location of its superiority. In addition to highlight the kinetic design philosophy, this car also has another characteristic, namely 'trapezoids grille'. This grille design has even become the identity of Ford since the early millennium ago. Design of a swooping bonnet, firm shoulder line, the slope A-pillars and arched roofline to the rear is able to provide drag coefficient figure 0.33.Fiesta stands on the same platform as that used Mazda2. Even so, weighs 55 kg heavier. Yet when compared to the dimensions of the Fiesta that has a wheelbase 2489 mm, length 3950 mm, width 1722 mm, and height 1481 mm, the Fiesta is only 50 mm longer, fatter and a little higher than the Mazda2.Ford admitted that the weight of weighing the consequences was obtained from the use of solid materials for body design. Tujuanya, so that the plate age is more resistant to impact and reduce noise, vibration and NVH (noise, vibration, harshness). String of independent front suspension uses McPherson strut. While the rear, semi-independent twist beam (rod peyangga). Ford raises diameter rear twist beam (compared Mazda2) to allow the legs to be sturdy and capable of damping vibrations wheels with the road surface with goodAffairs of the mechanical rate, Fiesta carries a 1.4-liter Duratec engine, with the technology Twin Independent Variable Camshaft Timing (Ti-VCT). This feature allows you to set the shaft in the engine cylinder to provide fuel efficiency. Also powered engines 95 hp at 5750 rpm with torque of 128 Nm at 4,200 rpm it already meets Euro III emission standards.Unfortunately, the transmission used in the 1.4 L unit which has not been tested using 6-speed powershift technology as on the 1.6 variant L. However triptronik transmission 4-speed automatic can be operated in his semi-automatic mode Sequential Sport Shift.Technology applications Electric Power Assist Steering (EPAS) to function optimally reduce the load on the steering wheel. This feature can also adjust to road surface conditions. Ari, EPS will become heavy or relieve, according to the path traversed. While the 5.1-meter turning radius provides enough space to rotate in a narrow area.There is one small note about the wheel circuit, in which Ford appears to be less careful attention to aesthetics. For example, bantang connecting pins steering colum and sometimes collide with the left foot. In fact, this step can be overcome by redesigning the board covering the driver's foot space.For safety, the Fiesta is built with the concept of Side Protection And Cabin Enhancement (SPACE). Not only that, the features occupant Passenger Detection System (PODS) will commemorate the passengers or drivers to wear seat belts and air bags that span several critical points.Other affixes a matter of safety that is Electronic Stability Control (ESC) combined with Anti-lock Brake System (ABS). Not to forget, Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) as standard features to improve braking response.





INTERIOR 
Ambient cabin is designed in a modern and perspective. In effect, the room was quite spacious and comfortable. This view is also widespread thanks to the front windscreen (windshield) the ramps. While the driving position is also quite high, thus adding to driver confidence. In addition, the driving position is also quite strategic in reaching the buttons on the center console.The latest generation of Ford presents a series of menu buttons and the phone number that a similar design. The combination of orange and red lights berkelir enliven the center console. And reportedly, this is one of his best-selling Fiesta in key European markets. Almost all forms of buttons on the fascia was curved out in order to facilitate the touch of a finger.In addition to a stylish look, the Ford Fiesta also offers the best technology in its class. Voice Control System is a feature which is the first feature in the small hatchback class in Indonesia. With this feature, we can listen to music or bertelpon via bluetooth. Use language appropriate dialect Inggirs with features that can work maskmiallBy first sync bluetooth headsets to car audio, you can press the voice command button on the left lever behind the steering wheel. Then, just mention the name, or telephone number, and instantly the other person's voice will be heard in the cabin of the car.In addition to the stylish interior, Fiesta cabin design can also be said to be "multifunctional space". With the extra storage on multiple sides, making the interior space seems flexible. Bottle holders in each door, shoes storage under the front driver's seat and cup holder in the center. 281-liter trunk volume is recorded with the condition of the rear seat upright and climbed to 965 liters when the rear seats folded.Ergonomic side also dikedepakan on baigan interior, such as audio controls on steering wheel and form a semi-bucket seat design. This chair is able to withstand the weight of the car so as not to shift maneuver. Unfortunately, the value does not spread le ergonomic layout of the power window switch. Position slightly above the armrest. As a result, the driver must pull the arm backward a little in order to suppress it. 

PERFORMANCE 
Ford Duratec series put on a mechanical heart the Fiesta. This series is one of the best engine manufacturing alerts blue oval. When testing, the composition of power and torque able to catapult Fiesta 14.7 seconds for 0-100 kph. As for 0-402 meters, Fiesta raced in 20.7 seconds with a speed of 108.6 kph. While the deceleration performance of 2.7 seconds was recorded with a distance of 28.3 mThis figure is still under the Mazda2, the brother of one platform which scored 0-100 kph in 12.7 seconds and 80-0 kph in 2.7 seconds and a distance of 27.3 m. But keep in mind, that the larger 100cc capacity Mazda2 and the Fiesta is also 55 kg heavier.The test results also showed that the Fiesta is designed as a nimble urban car. With a dense arrangement of gear (close ratio). For speed in the city where the movement of cars below 80 kph, the Fiesta record nicks about one second for each increase of 10 kph (0-10 kph 0.9 seconds, 2.0 seconds 00-20 kph etc.). As for speeds above 80 kph, the increase in time to two seconds per 10 kph (00-90 kph 12.6 seconds, 0-100 kph 14.7 seconds).One consequence of the use of gear meeting, namely the decrease top speed. This is evident when the Fiesta was only able to run up to 160 kph with a 4500 rpm redline. Not only that, the time required to reach maximum speed is also quite long, about 37.8 seconds. 

Driving & CONTROL 

When on the highway, the Fiesta could provide a fairly good sense of driving. Understandably, these cars share platforms with known Mazda2 comfortable driving. Invite a detour down the Fiesta and the character does not make you shake the suspension of the chair. European driving tastes are also presented through the excess acoustic system that can reduce cabin noise optimally.Movement slow in fast out cornering, will make the rear wheels slightly distorted. But, the symptoms are very reasonable considering the suspension does not adhere to the stern of independent models such as the front. Unfortunately, the suspension damping dilintasan wavy pattern somewhat weakened. Bantinganya still quite loud.Another thing that is disturbing about the pleasures of security doors. That is, even if the door is locked electrically, anyway dikecepatan whatever, all four doors can be opened from the inside. If the child lock is activated, the two front doors can still be opened. When confirmed, the FMI explained that this is part of safety. That is, in a state of emergency or accident, the door still be opened.
